How online tutoring works
Everything happens in one live, interactive space — no clunky setup, just focused one-to-one learning.
Live 1-to-1 video lessons
Meet your tutor face-to-face over secure video. It feels just like sitting side by side — you talk, ask questions and work through problems together in real time.
Shared interactive whiteboard
Write out equations, annotate past papers, sketch diagrams and plan essays together on a whiteboard you both control — the heart of effective online tuition.
Resources & progress in one place
Share homework, download resources and track progress from your dashboard, so every lesson builds on the last.

Online tutoring FAQs
Does online tutoring actually work?
Yes. What makes tutoring effective is one-to-one attention tailored to the student, and that translates fully online. With live video and a shared interactive whiteboard, your tutor can explain, question and work through problems with you exactly as they would in person — with the bonus that you can learn from home and revisit what you covered.
What do I need for online lessons?
Just a laptop, tablet or desktop with a webcam, plus a stable internet connection. Lessons run over Zoom or Google Meet with a shared whiteboard in the browser — there is nothing to install beyond your video app, and your tutor will help you get set up on the first session.
How do online lessons work on ScholarsGate?
Tell us your subject and level (or browse directly), pick a tutor, and message them for free to check the fit. When you are ready, book a time and join the video lesson from your dashboard. You get a shared interactive whiteboard, screen sharing and space to share homework and resources.
Is online tutoring cheaper than in-person?
Often, yes. There are no travel costs for you or the tutor, and because you can choose from tutors across the whole UK you have far more options at every price point. Rates on ScholarsGate start from around £20/hr, and you can see each tutor’s price up front with no booking fees.
